QUESTION: What is the total output data rate and what are the individual port output data
rates?
ANSWER “A” – For HW Ver. Rev 2.1 and newer:
• Based on Table 20-1 for a modem Tx bandwidth of 2.5 Mbps, the QoS output bandwidth is
set to 3 Mbps.
• Since the modem Tx bandwidth and QoS output data rates are not the same, after Layer 2
QoS prioritization the modem will further limit the output data rate to the Tx bandwidth of
the mode. The individual port data rates will henceforth be trimmed (normalized) to the
data rate of the modem Tx bandwidth without considering the priorities.

3 3 800 Kbps 800 Kbps 1700 Kbps 800 x (2.5/3) = 667 Kbps
2 2 2 Mbps 1700 Kbps 0 Kbps 1700 x (2.5 /3) = 1416 Kbps

Total ► 5.3 Mbps 3 Mbps 0 Kbps 2.5 Mbps
*After Priority 4, even though the actual modem TX data rate is 2500 kbps, the QoS
leftover data rate is still 2500 kbps since QoS bandwidth is 3000 kbps.
ANSWER “B” – For HW Ver. Rev 1.1 and older:
• Based on Table 20-1 for a modem Tx bandwidth of 2.5 Mbps, the QoS output bandwidth is
set to 4 Mbps.
• Since the modem Tx bandwidth and QoS output data rates are not the same, after Layer 2
QoS prioritization the modem will further limit the output data rate to the Tx bandwidth of
the modem. The individual port data rates will henceforth be trimmed (normalized) to the
data rate of the modem Tx bandwidth without considering the priorities.
